Its decorations are so tawdry, and so poorly executed, as to be sneered at, even by the towns-people; one of whom asked me whether a face, blasphemously painted as the likeness of the Almighty, did not resemble that of an owl.<\/p>\n

The sheep being sheared, the farmer\u2019s wife invites all the girls of her acquaintance, to assist in preparing the wool for the process of being spun and wove into foresi and orbacci: the girls in their turn apprize their suitors, and the house on the appointed day becomes a general rendezvous, whither they all repair in \u201cgran tenuta\u201d.<\/p>\n

The wool being spread on the floor of the cottage, the young women, each provided with a bunch of flowers by the mistress of the house, sit on the ground around it, and commence the work of teasing and picking, while the youths take places on the forms and seats about.<\/p>\n

The damsels then break into extemporaneous songs, accompanied by the guitar or \u201ccetera\u201d, until they have all successively sung. One of the girls then draws the bouquet from her breast, and with a peculiar grace presents it to her swain, accompanying the act with half a verse, which the youth is obliged to complete with an appropriate rejoinder.<\/p>\n

This example is followed by the rest of the company, and should a stranger drop in, attracted by the music, he is sure of being thus favoured also, as a welcome; and if ignorant of the dialect, his quota of verse is furnished by one of the bystanders.<\/p>\n

After this ceremony, they return to songs, and continue them with great spirit till the wool being finished, is deposited in the \u201c\u03c4\u03b1\u03bb\u03b1\u03c1\u03bf\u03c2\u201d, or basket, when there is a repast; and the whole concludes with dancing and rustic merriment.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.galluratour.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/9A-Cominotti-Gonin-Lallemand-graminatoggiu-1826-1839.jpg” alt=”Cominotti-Gonin-Lallemand – Graminatoggiu, 1826-1839″ title_text=”Cominotti-Gonin-Lallemand – Graminatoggiu, 1826-1839″ show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.galluratour.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/9B-John-William-Cook-a-graminatorgiu-at-Tempio-1849.jpg” alt=”John William Cook – Graminatorgiu a Tempio, 1849″ title_text=”John William Cook – Graminatorgiu a Tempio, 1849″ show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” border_width_top=”1px” border_width_bottom=”1px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
